Outside crank?

Is it possible to crank your ankle to the outside to make outside kicks/stalls easier? In general footbag under the dragon pic thread in the pic bluntobj3ct posted it looks like hes got some going, but I can't really tell.
I'm asking because I don't think my ankle moves that way. I can get good inside crank, but when I try to do it on the outside my foot just won't go.

i would imagine with normla stretching it would get better then it is.

There tends to be quite a bit of hip rotation for tricks like dragon, and yes you can develop a bit more outside crank by stretching and doing moves like dragon

Most of the stuff we call crank is good for footbag but what it amounts to is loose joints. We will all be hurting come 50-60 years of age.

It is for sure possible to crank your ankle that way. It looks disgustingly cool.
